David Bowie, Prince, Leonard Cohen, George Michael, Muhammad Ali and Carrie Fisher are just some of the famous faces we lost in 2016 - but alongside those notable names were many other celebrities whose passing didn’t quite generate the same amount of column inches.

Here are some more well-known personalities we might have forgotten that we said a fond farewell to this year...

Pete Burns - Lead singer of 80s pop band Dead Or Alive who gained more fame on Celebrity Big Brother. Died October, aged 57.

Sir George Martin - Legendary music producer who was known as the ‘fifth Beatle’. Died March, aged 90.
